"From a trust stand point it makes sense. Do you send someone in to talks that everyone is afraid of (T)? Perhaps having ATHM doing the negotiating in the interest of ALL the partners makes more sense than having them all go in there and make their own deals in front of ATHM.." Grace, on the surface I almost agreed with you. But think about what you stated. Who would be more hostile, would have more to lose, potentially, and more loathed to discuss these issues than ATHM, in this event, who can be seen in this scenario as trying to protect their lunch? Anyway, stranger things have happened, I suppose. Regarding LBJ and pissing in the wrong direction, permit me to paraphrase what Dean Rusk once told LBJ in [ ]'s. Dean Rusk said, when asked by Johnson why he was not terribly popular with the American public: "Let's face it, Mr. President, there is something about you, about the way you come across on [cable] television [issues], in particular, that just plain seems to piss a lot of people off." Yes, there is a contextual double entendre buried in there, somewhere. Regards, Frank Coluccio
